How to Design Windbreaks for Wildfires?

I live in a wildfire-prone area and want to plant some windbreaks around the perimeter of my 30ish acre parcel.

I don’t remember where I got this info from, but I remember hearing that a good windbreak should be dense/evergreen, and should be layered so the canopies of the various trees make a 60 degree angle from the ground to the tallest tree.

Assuming that’s valid (correct me if not) wouldn’t that also be the ‘perfect’ fuel ladder in the case of a wildfire? I’ve heard windbreaks are good wildfire protection, but I don’t know how to square these two ideas.
